[Cartoweb-dev] Querying the Outline Layer

[Oliver Christen]

Hi Max

The query plugin get the list of queryable layer from the layer plugin, this 
list is generated from the selected layers at the moment the query is done.
I tried to add the cartoweb_point_outline layer in the layer tree and have 
it selected, but I simply get a major "mainmap image not generated yet" 
error. I didnt investigate more but I suppose the way the outline layer are 
handled (which is clearly different from "normal" layer) somehow cause some 
conflict within the layer or hilight or image plugin when it try to generate 
the image with the hilighted selected elements.

So the answer is it doesnt seem possible as for now. The first though would 
be to exactly pinpoint where the error come from but it seems quite complex, 
sorry.

Regards,

Oliver
